I spent all day pounding it with a sledge hammer, then heating it with a propane torch with no luck. Your bolt trick worked like a charm! FYI - I bought 3/8" x 3" carriage bolts with 3/8" nut and a washer... as the the carriage bolts are threaded the entire length! Doing the other side will be snap! Thanks so much!
The bolt trick was epic. Saved me so much time. I was able to find a 4 X 1/2 inch bolt and nut at the hardware store that was threaded all the way down. Worked great. rusted up hub came right off. Thanks for the tip!
@@miraclesmusic Yes, it can make it easier. I should this without a impact for the majority of folks who will watch but will have limited tools. Hope your repair goes well!
I hope this video can help someone do this job as easily as possible. There are a lot of these vans out there Ganesh. It didn't take too long to do it.
I was not looking for a hub problem, but glad I noticed it was noisy before it got too bad or fell apart on a long trip. Usually we have to travel 500 miles round trip for stuff a few times a year.
I have a 2010 Grand Caravan that bracket behind the hub someone already broke it off and they broke the ebrake bolt on the frame too. I have to find a way to secure these plus hope the bolts for the hub come out and the hub comes out too. Great video.
@@unclemarksdiyauto possibly its why I don't own those vehicles my mom likes them since 1986. She had 86, 89, 91, 93, 96, 2001, 2005, 2010. I maintain my own vehicles so they never get this bad I don't wait til failures I do rust prevention and swap out parts to keep things optimal. I have an 08 pilot good year BTW. If parts remain available ill hopefully keep it till million plus miles. And its rust free in New England and no garage. I think the seats will wear out first.
Sensor was still working fine. Originally the warning light was not on. I replaced the hub because the bearing was making noise. Did you have a abs/traction light on, and if so, how did you know which wheel was the problem Mike?
@@unclemarksdiyauto I thought it was guttsy to fiddle with the hex and reuse vs disconnect the harness. I've changed at least a few where the old sensor didn't work afterwards.
@@macfady2181 I see what you mean. I was careful not to contaminate the sensor end. I guess wires could also be brittle and crack internally and not know that until it was all back together again. I had no issue after this swap. I guess I was fortunate.

The best video ever for removal of rear wheel bearing hub, definately underrated!
Thank you for your kindness! More videos on these vehicles to come!

Glad this trick helped. Of course not my invention, but a great mechanic showed me this.

Glad the trick worked Lontek. I the past I have fought with them chiseling and hammering them out. This works slick.
]This the best video I watched which is step by step
Thank you so much, OSAMAH. I am trying to get better in my presentations of these projects. Lots more Grand Caravan videos in my playlists.
Greta video - just about to tackle this job - I prefer using an impact where possible

Like your trick to pull out the bearing. Smart
I learned it from someone smarter than me. Thanks vase!

Glad it was of some help. I have a complete repair playlist on the Grand Caravan! Keep it handy for the next project!
Great video bud, lol you deal with rust as if its normal seems..

Hope it goes well, "Only Me!" I bet that ebrake bolt breaks on all of them.

@@onlyme8870 Dodge vans are built cheap for sure. Not like Honda quality. That Honda should last a long time!
Was your old sensor still working afterward or did you have an ABS/TRACTION control light on?

You need new rotor
Worst than that, actually the caliper is seized!
